Thanks BlackSix & 1C Team
as promissed, great update! CoD with it's potential is the best flightsim to me, not perfect yet, but a X-15 one day. Committed community, also. Go on!

I don't know how many times the phrase "Low flak over Manston" has been uttered on ATAG teamspeak but it is a lot! AA would be great but looking forward to the patch.

I don't look forward to wait hours for bandits behind a flak gun, without even the fun of flying. And don't tell me about Manston in ATAG, speaking by experience (CAP) you can spend a lot of time even there waiting for low level vulching attacks. Imo, if no flight sim had such a feature before, there must be a reason. Boredom, maybe? Maybe I'm wrong, but this one will be like the useless blond-girl-on-a-spit mission.

Well you wouldn't wait for hours. I imagine you would spawn in at Manston, see the flak and hop out of your Hurri and into the AAA.

IIRC the Shell refinery in Manama produced the 100 octane, benzene rich gasoline. Tankers would then bring it past South Africa to Britain.

Provided that you fly Red

Exactly. I don't think there was ever the suggestion of waiting around for hours waiting for something to happen. You spawn and find your base under attack so you man the defences....I've seen my son doing precisely that in some online WWII game or other. It's not a major part of gameplay for sure but it does give you the chance to have a pop at them.

If it's designed well they'd let you jump from area to area to follow the action too.

Have you ever gone fishing?

It may not be the sport for you?

Intermitant rewards can be more desirable than instant gratification!

Sometimes when spawning at LittleStone I've jumped straight to the turret and had a pot shot at the vulchers! I doubt I've actually done any damage but its all a bit of fun.

Now we just need the performance increase to enable trees so the gunners can get a bit of visual cover!

cheers!

Lol... Imagine a blue team mate arranging an attack at Manston and then switching sides!

I'm glad the dev team decided that this would be the most important feature to add. -_-
